R. Crusoe & Son Offers Alaska & Bhutan/Nepal Journeys

The 8-day Alaska tour will depart on July 26th while the 15-day Bhutan and Nepal journey will depart on October 20th.

Alaska

Travelers on the Alaska Hosted Journey will join R. Crusoe & Son managing director David Weber and his wife, Patty, for a remarkable examination of our 49th state aboard an exceptional yacht, the 36-passenger Safari Explorer. On this departure, R. Crusoe has exclusive use of the yacht, so all passengers are a part of the Crusoe Hosted Journey.

The journey will tour the Alaskan panhandle including Glacier Bay National Park and the Inside Passage. Kayaks and inflatable skiffs will be used to keep travelers close to the action as the small group wends their way through some of the nation's most spectacular scenery. The on-board hot tub and mountain bikes for earth-friendly land transport will become favorite amenities, while naturalists will keep the group informed of all that they see along the way. Here in this picture-postcard land, expect to be awed by puffins, sea lions, mountain goats, bears, moose, eagles, and humpback whales. It is truly a journey not to be missed.

R. Crusoe offers an optional two-day post-tour extension to Denali National Park, a UNESCO Biosphere Reserve and home of Mount McKinley, North America's tallest peak.

This tour is priced from $6,995 per person, based on double occupancy, land only. For additional information on the Alaska Hosted Journey, visit rcrusoe.com/journeyHostedAlaska2013.aspx or call Nina Choi at 888-490-8007.
